RainCue: Rain Alert App

A rain alarm that only goes off when it affects you.

RainCue watches the sky over your areas and warns you before the rain starts. It is not another weather app with seven days and a cloud icon: it is an alarm for the exact moment you were about to head out.

YOUR ROUTINES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Tell it when you leave for work, when you hang the laundry or when you walk the dog. RainCue watches only those moments.

• If rain is coming during your slot, it warns you ahead of time and tells you when it starts. • If there is a dry gap before, it tells you: sometimes leaving ten minutes earlier is enough. • If it is not going to rain, it says nothing.

That silence is the feature, not the lack of one. Most days RainCue gets it right by staying quiet, which is why you can keep it installed without it becoming one more annoying app.

THE RADAR MAP

When you open it you see where it is raining right now: radar for most of Europe, the US and Canada, with the last hour animated and a forecast for the next one. It tells you how far away the nearest rain is and whether it is coming closer or moving away. Where there is no radar, the app says so instead of showing a clean map that looks like "no rain".

ALERTS THAT ARRIVE IN TIME

• Choose the area you want watched: home, work, the village. • Set how much rain matters to you: from drizzle to downpours only. • Set quiet hours and sleep in peace. • Test the alert whenever you like, so you know how it sounds before you need it.

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN

• A widget with the minutes until the rain, without opening the app.
